Evo* - The main European events on Evolutionary Computation

Evo* joins the Europe's premier co-located events in the field of
evolutionary computing, namely the EuroGP, EvoCOP and EvoBIO
conferences and workshops collectively entitled EvoWorkshops. The
2008 event will take place in Naples/Napoli, Italy. Featuring the
latest in theoretical and applied research, the topics will include
recent genetic programming challenges, evolutionary and other meta-
heuristic approaches for combinatorial optimisation, evolutionary
algorithms in the biosciences, in music and art domains, in image
analysis and signal processing systems, in hardware optimisation and
as applied to a range of industrial and financial optimisation
problems.
